    Looking good. I like the asymmetrical headstock. Countours look great. Not sure about a color. I always think of Rick Derringer with when I think of that guitar shape. His was a natural, with a couple of stripes running parallel to the pickups. That seems a common themes with these.

    Are you thinking a transparent finish, or solid? Also what kind of music do you think you'll play with it? Definitely not a surf color ;-)

    Thanks fender3x.

    Definitely not a surf colour! I'm into blues rock!

    The finish will hopefully be transparent with three tones! I want to inlay 2 parallel strips of white (or black stained!) pine, the center block will stay as natural mahogany, and the wings will be stained darker! That is my plan! Hopefully I can pull it off. Solid black is my backup
